What You Need to Know
Tree Pollen Season Is Here: Are You Ready for A Different Approach to Managing Allergic Rhinitis?
Tree pollen-induced allergic rhinitis (AR) is often managed reactively – when pollen counts rise and visible symptoms appear. However, the seasonality of this condition creates opportunities for proactive and strategic intervention.
Join Dr. Mei Xu as she takes a deeper dive into a different approach to managing AR in children and adults.
In her 45-minute session, Dr. Xu will explore:
- The burden of AR and the need to act now, during the tree pollen allergy season
- Key Canadian AR practice parameters and their practical applications
- How addressing the underlying cause, by using AIT, may benefit patients with AR
- How to integrate AIT into routine clinical practice
Date: LIVE Thursday, March 12, 2026
Time: 7:00 – 7:45 PM ET (4:00 – 4:45 PM PT)
